Portland Official Feels Federal Building Rock, Girls Run Into Vault for Safety. Postmaster Merrick, who has just re turned from San Francisco, felt the earthquake shock there Saturday after noon, and describes It as a violent one. "I was sitting In the Postoftlce build ing at Seventh and Mission streets, at the time," said Mr. Merrick, "talking over Postofflce affairs with the As sistant Postmaster, when suddenly I felt a shock like a blast. I asked him what It was, aa I didn't realise at the nstant that It was a quake. I thought It was an explosion. While he was ex plaining to me that It was an earth quake, the second shock began. He was alarmed and so was I. But he said we had better not go Into the street, as we would be In danger of falling walla. We stood under some large beams as the shock continued, and the plaster on the wall began to chip. The two shocks lasted about four minutes. "San Francisco people say It was the heawiest quake since the big earth quake of 190C. The motion was much like that of a fast-moving passenger coach when It strikes a curve. It was accompanied by a crunching noise. -The girls at work In the Postofflce building all ran Into the big steel vault for aafety. Many persons rsn Into the street. In the stores bottles dropped on the flooY and broke. In many of the buildings the occupants were thrown Into a panic There was a panic among the girls of the telephone office. The Pacific block, on Market street. was thrown three Inches out of plumb. When I got down to the Palsce Hotel everyone In the dining-room had run Into the street. People stood on Mar ket street tintll late that night looklnr at the Pacific block. Xakland felt the shake-tip even worse than San Francisco. Many visitors to the Bay Cities left Immediately after ward. The temblor was at 2 o clock. The papers that afternoon printed noth. ing regaraing it. put I saw a small Item In the Examiner the next day." , .,. .... i ;..u. ui i. t. j, ,A i - " ' t J fc " .. .

Just before boarding the special train that left Portland last midnight bearing nearly 100 local Elks and members of their families.

Although several cities will be nomi nated. It Is probable that none of them will expect more than a complimentary vote. It Is known that St. Louis and Boston will enter the contest for the purpose of strengthening their respec tive positions in the 1913 race. Reports also have been circulated that Pltts burg will oppose Portland, but no ac tive campaign for that city has been started. Philadelphia, which enter tained the grand lodge In 1907, also may enter the field. The general dis position among Eiks. however. Is to come to the Coast next year and as no other city on the Coast Is In the race, with all of them supporting Portland, the question may be decided on the first ballot. Gus Moser to Nominate. I It Is probable that the vote on the place for holding the next convention will be taken Thursday, July 13. As soon as the result Is known Mr. Kubll will telegraph the Information to The Oregonlan. . Gus C. Moser. past exalted ruler of the local lodge, will make the nomlnat Ing speech for Portland on the floor of the Atlantic City convention hall. K. K. Kubll likely will second the nomina tion. If the rules of the meelng per mlt, seconding speeches also will be made by delegates from Seattle, Spo kane, Tacoma, Los Angeles. San Fran Cisco end other Western cities. Conspicuous on the convention floor about that time will be a certified check for $1:5.000 which Portland delegates will promise as an entertainment fund In the event that the grand lodge votes to meet here next year. If anything further Is needed to In duce the delegates to vote for Portland, moving pictures of the city, literature and more spellbinders will speak to sweep the convention with & wave of Oregonlan sentiment. Chamberlain May Speak. W. R. Apperson, past exalted ruler of the Portland lodge, will be the official representative of Portland at the con vention, which. It is expected, will be attended by about 1200 Elks as every lodge in the country Is entitled to one delegate. According to the fules of the grand lodge every past exalted ruler Is entitled to a vote. This will glvo Port land additional strength by the presence of Dr. Hary McKay and Gus C, Moser, past exalted rulers of the local body. Senator Chamberlain, also a past exalted ruler of Portland lodge. Is expected to Join the party at Wash ington. He may be Induced, also, to deliver an address at the convention to aid Portland's cause. Dr. B. C Olinger, exalted ruler of The Dalles lodge, arrived In the city yesterday and accompanied the Portland herd on the special train. Dr, Carleton Smith, of Salem, district deputy grand exalted ruler, Arthur Ben son, exalted ruler of Salem lodge; H. C. Judd. exalted ruler at Astoria, and Others also Joined tie Portland party.

ROADS! TO BE IMPROVED Crushed Rock to Be Put on High ways East of Sandy River. Road Supervisor Nlelson, whose dls trlct includes the territory east of the Sandy River, is preparing to move the rock crusher now located at the foot of the hill on the Base Line road, near the Automobile Club grounds, to the rock quarry on the bluff on the east side of the river. Mr. Nlelson says that In this quarry there Is enough rock to keeD the crusher In operation for 50 years, and It Is located where It will be easy to haul the crushed rock to all the county roads In that territory. Change of the location of the crusher east of the Sandy River will reduce the cost of transportation of the crushed material. Very little crushed rock has been used on the county roads east of Sandy River owing to the difficulty of transDortatlon and the long haul up steep grades, all of which will be over come: besides tne county naa aimcuity In securing the rock quarry. The roads are now largely used by automobiles. especially the Base Line and the road to Latourelle and Corbetts. Supervisor Nlelson said that all these roads can be Improved and kept In good condition at mall expense on account or tne arain- age afforded. Piummer nas the highest quality olive oil In Portland.

We finally managed to rig out a half-decent costume for one of us and we drew lots to see who would wear It down town. You see one of us had to go out and buy clothes for the others. I was the for tunate one, and, after tucking my sis ters in bed for I was wearing the greater part of their attire I sallied forth. It was really terribly humiliat ing.
